2Wire Router Issues - How to Turn off Security

There appears to be an ongoing issue with MacBook wireless and the 2Wire routers (via AT&T/SBC). My wireless was working fine until I downloaded the recent Apple updates.
I saw one fix for this posted here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=874076
However, I do not know how to turn off the security to the router. Also, what would be the implications of doing so?
Have any other MacBook/2Wire users had this issue and come up with a fix until Apple does? Just called Customer Service, and they don't have any fixes at this time.
Thanks!

You will need to follow the directions in the 2Wire user guide.

    Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

    Did you ever get an answer to this question about you not being able to silent your keypad (ten key) tones on your Iphone? I am having this same issue, my boyfriend and i compared our settings and set them exactly the same. His keys are silent, my beep with each one I touch. I can't stand this? Did you ever get it resolved?

  • How to turn off findmyiphone on a damaged screen

    I have an iphone 4S with iOS 7.1.2. I left it on the car yesterday, it fell off in traffic. When I finally realized what happened, I was able to find it. The screen is destroyed but the rest of the phone surprisingly works. No issues with the ringer volume, data/ charge port, ringing, etc. I've submitted a warranty claim but would like to do a factory restore ("Restore iPhone") via iTunes before sending it in. I have a passcode protected phone and it apparently has findmyiphone enabled. I am at a loss here on how to turn off that feature as it's required to be off before doing a full restore. I've gone in to iCloud > Find My Iphone on my PC and removed this phone from the account.
    Luckily my wife was able to use her upgrade today so I just activated my number on her old 4S. I'm now thinking this may have screwed the potential for turning the feature off on my old phone.
    Gurus, please help.

    Hey KG2365,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to turn off Find My iPhone but can't since the screen isn't working. I would recommend that you follow this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate this issue.

  • NOT SURE HOW TO TURN OFF RESTRICTIONS AS i DO NOT HAVE A PASSCODE

    not sure how to turn off restrictions

    Are restrictions enabled? If they are and you don't know the restrictions passcode:
    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How complitely turn off computer?

    How complitely turn off computer?

    Are you talking about where it shuts itself down after going through the shutdown routine?  If it's not doing it automatically when you issue a "shutdown -r now" (or the like) then it's probably an issue with power management.  There's a few ways to tackle that.  Either use APM or ACPI.  ACPI tends not to work all that great on computers that have really old bios.  In that case it's better to utilize APM.  Probably your issue is that the your system may not support ACPI very well or even at all.  However, it may support it, but the kernel is turning it off by default from detecting your BIOS being dated beyond a certain point in time.  They did that to error on the side of caution.  They opted to choose a conservative default assumption since it makes more sense in that at least most systems will be able to boot up without any problems by default.
    My computer used to be able to shutdown automatically through the use of APM, but not ACPI (ran into this issue when I upgraded my kernel from 2.4 series to 2.6 series back when I ran with Debian), but I ended updating it's BIOS and it worked fine with ACPI from there on.  My system is pretty old too, so it doesn't completely implement ACPI.  I think it's laptops that tend to make fuller use of ACPI anyway.  However, it seems like most desktops with the last 8 or so years make some minimal use of it at least.  So you can see there is many ways to approach this issue. 
    First thing to try is to look around in your BIOS setup to see if there is any ACPI related setting, like mentioned earlier.  That's a good place to start.  If you don't see any settings, it either means that your BIOS setup either don't allow you to set ACPI, doesn't support it, or just the current version of your BIOS doesn't allow changing related settings or make use of it.  So naturally, the next thing to check is the manufacturer's sight for your motherboard and find any BIOS related info.
    Upgrading the BIOS is probably the most elegent solution but it can be openning up a whole can worms if you don't know what you're doing.  If you botch flashing the BIOS you run the risk of turning your motherboard into a paper weight.  So the key there is make sure you at least read your manufacturer's instructions carefully and also make sure that your use the right utils and BIOS version for your BIOS and motherboard.  And don't dare have a power failure or shut the system off while it's rewriting the boot block.  That where people run into a serious problem of rendering their system completely unbootable since the system no longer has the most basic of code needed to even get the system to a state that it can even begin bootstrapping.  Technically, the motherboard isn't probably trashed, but at that point you have a chicken before the egg syndrome going on.  You can't get it to boot far enough to boot to anything, much less a floppy, to be able to reflash the bios to get yourself out of the pickle.  So when, and if that sort of thing happens, then it would require replacing the BIOS chip itself which may or may not require soldering. 
    Anyway, don't let that scare you, it's just to point out that when you're doing things like flashing a system's BIOS it's critical  to do it right since it's modifying the system on such a fundimental low-level.  If that part of the system isn't functional, everything else, like HD and floppy being able to load anything, is a moot point.
    If all of that stuff makes you uncomfortable, you may opt to utilize APM instead.  I can't remember exactly how to instruct the kernel to use APM instead of ACPI.  I believe there is kernel parameter you can set in your bootloader's settings.  I can't remember it off hand.  Sorry.

  • How to turn off geolocatio​n on BB Playbook?

    Hi,
    Please, can anyone tell me how to turn off geolocation on BB Playbook?
    It looks like it's on by default since the last OS update. But I may be wrong.
    I read on this forum you can't turn off the GPS sensor.
    That's OK as long as I can disable it's geolocation function on the Play Book.
    Thank you, Walt.

    It's defined on a per application level, not system level. See Security/Application permissions in system settings...

  • How to turn off connection sound

    When I connect my iPod to my iPod speakers it makes a sound that I previously disabled. However, yesterday I reset my iPod back to its factory settings just to remove any issues that may have developed with the software. Now I can't figure out how to turn off the connection sound. I have disabled all the sounds in the Settings menu, but can't disable the connection sound.
    Any ideas?
